Limited by effect light area, the photon of the visible ray that optical-electrical converter can receive reduces, and the electric signal of optical-electrical converter output subtracts
Weak, the position that the energy of γ photon of gained and γ photon incide scintillation crystal is inaccurate, leads to the resolution ratio of detector
Reduce.
At present, the method for raising detector resolution commonly used in the art is the size reducing scintillation crystal, scintillation crystal
Reduce, the minimum lattice generating the scintillation crystal of visible ray diminishes, the visible ray that in scintillation crystal, each lattice is excited can be made
Produce crosstalk, increase the complexity of scintillation crystal light splitting;And, reduce the size of scintillation crystal, can lead to and original flicker
Crystal phase ratio, subtracting the visible ray that undersized scintillation crystal marginal position excites can weaken, and also result in reduction detector and differentiate

The face projected on scintillation crystal is the exiting surface of scintillation crystal it is seen that the incident face on photoconduction of light is the incidence surface of photoconduction.
The size of the exiting surface of scintillation crystal is equal sized with photoconduction incidence surface, so can make the visible ray from scintillation crystal outgoing
All incide in photoconduction.
Visible ray, after photoconduction light splitting, transmits to multiple optical-electrical converters of detector.Generally, detector
